Try with a different Internet connection, if possible.Restart your router (unplug the power cord, wait around one minute and then reconnect).Restart your Mac (Apple menu > Restart).If so, you may have an unstable Internet connection. Open Safari or any other browser and test to see if websites load slowly. Slow Internet?Īs stated above, your Internet speed may affect your Spotify performance. The following steps address these issues. Or maybe some Spotify information stored on your Mac is corrupted and needs to be refreshed. A weak or unstable connection to the internet may cause this. This issue can be caused by a number of things. You may download and install the Mac desktop app to use Spotify on your computer. That being said, native app would definitely feel better :).Spotify is one of the most popular music streaming services. If it's less than 10 %, then it won't have significant impact on battery life. I would suggest just looking at the CPU % number for Spotify, not its energy impact. That can mean less minutes on battery power in reality, but I doubt it will be hours. In reality though, it might consume maybe 1W per minute of extra power, maybe not even that, since that would be 1/13th of the total maximal consumption. If you're running only Spotify through Rosetta, then it might show up as the highest energy consuming app, because others are more effective. That means that every app running in Rosetta will have greater energy impact than native apps, since the translation requires extra cycles, thus more CPU time. It is probably calculated by a formula that uses CPU time, process idle time and other similar factors to give a single number. It is not documented anywhere, but it doesn't measure direct energy consumption of the battery in any way. Just an insight about the energy impact thing.
